Sorry everyone this is the first time I uploaded a repaint. The picture didn't upload so here it is. There are 14 other units BO, CO. WM. They didn't upload either. I felt the units in the previous Railworks download where too greenish yellow so I recolored them. I still have to perfect dulling down the shine. Let me know if anyone wants the rest of the fleet and I will to try uploading again.

Thanks: Pete

I think the yellow may be too light for my taste, but suzukisk seems to be an expert of Chessie System (We have exchanged PMs), which I am not.
If you google Chessie System, there are locos with this kind of light yellows:

In the second shot, the left far loco is the VRC U30C and the loco in the front at the right is ET44C4 repaint.

Many will agree with me that it is a good repaint. !!*ok*!!

However suzukisk, I will suggest you for next time a better readme with clear install instructions (not everyone know with precision how to install a rwp), the base DLC (or folder where it will install) and a little bit of talk about the loco and the RR.
Finally, thank you for the repaint. !!howdy!!
